We welcome pupils of all faiths and backgrounds, championing dignity and respect for all.
This brings diversity and richness, which is a real strength of the school. There is an emphasis on nurturing young people to have the wisdom, honesty and strength of character to make the right choices and have the very highest aspirations. Our academic results speak for themselves; we are one of the country's most successful voluntary-aided selective schools.
This is testament to the talents of our staff and pupils alike.
